If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Hope it goes smoothly for you! This thread will probably help a lot of other people in the same situation too.
That would be great if it helps others who are as confused as I was starting out.
And remember, if you run into any issues reaching Washington ESD for help, services like claimyr.com are there as a backup option. Sometimes having that resource available just gives you peace of mind during the process.
I'll definitely keep that in mind if I need to talk to someone at ESD. Thanks again!

Update: I'm planning to call Washington ESD Monday morning to discuss this before accepting any disability payments. Thanks everyone for the guidance - this thread has been incredibly helpful in understanding my options and the potential issues.
That's the right approach. Good luck with the call and feel free to update us on how it goes.
Sounds like you have a good plan. Hope Washington ESD can give you clear guidance on your specific situation.
Just to summarize for anyone else in a similar situation: 1) Report any changes to Washington ESD immediately, 2) Understand that unemployment requires being able and available for work, 3) Disability benefits are for when you cannot work, 4) These may be mutually exclusive depending on your specific medical restrictions, 5) Get official guidance before accepting any concurrent benefits.
Perfect summary. Those five points cover the key issues for anyone dealing with this situation.
This should be pinned somewhere - exactly the kind of summary that would have helped me understand the situation faster.

One more thing - if you don't win at this level, you can appeal to the Board of Appeals. Don't give up if the first decision doesn't go your way.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that! But good to know there are more options.
Hopefully you won't need it, but it's there if you do. Good luck with your hearing!
Update us after your hearing! We're all rooting for you. Sounds like you have everything you need to win this appeal.
Will do! Thank you everyone for all the helpful advice. I feel so much more prepared now.
We've all been there. The unemployment system is confusing but forums like this help us all figure it out together.

Good luck with everything! The process is intimidating at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. The key is just filing as soon as you're eligible.

One last tip - take screenshots or write down confirmation numbers when you file. Sometimes the system glitches and having proof you filed can save you headaches later.
